It's fast, light, has a great 12.5-inch display, and continues the company's tradition of superb input ergonomics with an innovative button-less touchpad and long-stroke keyboard. It also offers excellent battery life that you can stretch to a whopping 23 hours with a bottom-mounted battery slice. The downside? Not much really. The boxy, business-like appearance and somewhat cluttered keyboard deck might lack the sex appeal some users are looking for.Jon L.

MacBook Air out of its box, the word "netbook" will almost certainly pop into your head. After all, the diminutive size and weight of Apple's newest ultraslim laptop -- not to mention its modest 1.4-GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processor -- are very netbook-like.Ken MingisFri, 29 Oct 2010 05:37:00 +1100http://www.goodgearguide.com.au/article/366105/11_6-in_macbook_air_don_t_call_it_netbook/?utm_medium=rss&utm_source=tagfeedMacBook Air: What the critics are sayinghttp://www.goodgearguide.com.au/article/365178/macbook_air_what_critics_saying/?utm_medium=rss&utm_source=tagfeedThe famous line about Apple's MacBook Air is that it is one of the most underpowered and overpriced laptop computers on the market. All that changed on Wednesday after Apple released two new MacBook Air models during the company's Back to the Mac event. The new computers may still be underpowered compared to other Macs, but the high price tag is gone as is some of its bulk.Ian PaulFri, 22 Oct 2010 06:18:00 +1100http://www.goodgearguide.com.au/article/365178/macbook_air_what_critics_saying/?utm_medium=rss&utm_source=tagfeedIntel pushes low-power chips for sleeker laptopshttp://www.goodgearguide.com.au/article/305586/intel_pushes_low-power_chips_sleeker_laptops/?utm_medium=rss&utm_source=tagfeedIntel is introducing a new low-power processor for what it hopes will be a new class of thin and light laptops that bridge the gap between netbooks and mainstream laptops.Agam ShahTue, 02 Jun 2009 14:02:00 +1000http://www.goodgearguide.com.au/article/305586/intel_pushes_low-power_chips_sleeker_laptops/?utm_medium=rss&utm_source=tagfeedHands on with HP's Mini 2140 netbookhttp://www.goodgearguide.com.au/article/272663/hands_hp_mini_2140_netbook/?utm_medium=rss&utm_source=tagfeedHewlett-Packard unveiled its Mini 2140 netbook at the International Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas earlier this week, and it's cool.Dan NystedtSat, 10 Jan 2009 11:17:00 +1100http://www.goodgearguide.com.au/article/272663/hands_hp_mini_2140_netbook/?utm_medium=rss&utm_source=tagfeedPanasonic unveils line of Toughbook laptopshttp://www.goodgearguide.com.au/article/261728/panasonic_unveils_line_toughbook_laptops/?utm_medium=rss&utm_source=tagfeedPanasonic last week unveiled a slew of new portable computers, focusing on small but rugged models.Sharon GaudinMon, 29 Sep 2008 10:30:00 +1000http://www.goodgearguide.com.au/article/261728/panasonic_unveils_line_toughbook_laptops/?utm_medium=rss&utm_source=tagfeed
